Video: Did you change your hair? (OTA)

[alwayscomeback]

Who: Sokka and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Forge, Iskaulit
When: 3/12

[When the feed comes on, it's absolutely Sokka's forge in the background, but the person in the foreground is pretty damn different. Still, as soon as he opens his mouth, he is absolutely still Sokka. There's no growing up out of that, clearly.]

Sooooo, that sure was two years worth of growing done in one night. That was a fun twist on the upgrades there, thanks Atroma. I personally feel spoiled. You shouldn't have.

[Yep. The sarcasm is strong, it's still Sokka. He plucks at the Drift Fleet jumpsuit he's wearing with clear distaste. It's the only thing that fits him right now.]

So, on the off-chance we don't go to a fun system with shopping next and instead go back to a horrible nightmare planet seen as that's in vogue right now- I might need to get someone who can actually sew clothes to maybe rescue me from this Beige Hell. Please.

[He needs to be wearing blue again.]

OH! That reminds me. I got some interesting intel from our cavalry last month - if you wanna know about that kinda of stuff drop by the forge. I'd rather not talk about that over the network because of the whole Atroma's always listening thing. You get it.

Yes, I do mean that. Mjolnir cannot be lifted by those who aren't worthy. I doubt these Atroma would count as such.

[Judgemental?? Yes. But not without cause.]

[alwayscomeback]

Ohhhhhh.

[He feels you, buddy, but he has questions. ]

Okay but...how does a hammer know if someone is worthy or not? Can it speak? Or...like...what's the criteria of 'worthiness'?

[rebuildyourruins]

[He chuckles a bit, because even Thor doesn't know all the intricacies of Mjolnir. It existed well before he was born.]

It is enchanted so that none other than the worthy can wield it. That was laid down by my father - other than he and myself, I have only known one other person who could lift it.

[alwayscomeback]

So...I guess you find out if you're worthy or not by trying to lift it? That's pretty cool- it's a great failsafe to make sure no one steals it.

...Aaaand now I get why you're not happy Atroma have managed to get hold of it.

[rebuildyourruins]

If they have. I am not convinced they have it with them. It's more likely to be still on the world they took me from.

[And yes, impossible to steal.]

[alwayscomeback]

Normally, I'd say just about everything we had on us is taken by them, but this is a special case. It'd be a shame, though, that'd mean it could never follow you here.

[rebuildyourruins]

That seems to be the way of it. I've already tried calling it back to me, several times. If it were possible, it would have arrived by now.

[This doesn't help the impression Thor's probably giving that his hammer is sentient.]

[alwayscomeback]

[That is absolutely the impression he's giving. ]

So it...comes back to you? Like...a dog? A hammer-dog?

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor looks briefly perplexed.]

Now that's a strange image.

[alwayscomeback]

It is! It just kind of sounds like its sentient? Can you like...talk to it?

[rebuildyourruins]

No, nothing like that. But if I put my hand out for it, it does come flying back, no matter how far away it is.

[A beat.]

Usually.

[alwayscomeback]

Huh.

Like...magnets or something.

[rebuildyourruins]

...sure, something like that.

[It's a close enough analogy.]

[alwayscomeback]

Cool. That's one way of never losing your weapon.
